Fiancee's car:
2000 Contour SE
2.5L Duratec
Happened suddenly, time coincident with a snowstorm, if that helps... :-), surging idle, then dies if not feathered by accelerator.
Took it in to a local Firestone, thinking it would be a quick fix (suspected EGR after doing a little research), but after their $79.95 diagnostic test (that didn't diagnose anything except an idle problem...duh), they replaced the MAF... with absolutely no improvement.
I took it back from them this afternoon after they told me they wanted to keep it overnight. I live 30 miles away and needed it to get home.
I'm not necessarily keen to bring it back to them if there are a few things I can do this evening. After searching this great site (contour.org... who'da thunk... :-), and finding the tutorial, I'm thinking I might try my hand at cleaning the IAC.
Anything else (that doesn't involve too much dissassembly) that I might try?
Thanks All!
